The visit to Giverny was wonderful and greatly enhanced our appreciation of Monet. I would have given 5 stars, but there is one rather serious flaw in the whole process: the directions back to the bus are very poor. We were not given a map, and the village of Giverny does not clearly mark the way back to the bus parking. We were almost left behind. This part of the tour needs serious improvement.

Nice trip overall. Gardens are very nice. So neat that you can walk around the pond and “see the real view”. Liked that you could actually walk through all the rooms in the house and not just peek in at the doorways. Could have use more time (like another hour) as we did not get to explore outside of the house and gardens with time allotted. Bus guide was rude with us when giving instructions. (While he may know the info and obviously repeats it daily, the visitors don’t know the layout and exits. Felt like we had been scolded before we even got off the bus.) Bus was clean and comfortable. Starting point was in a location convenient to restaurants so we had choices of places to eat when we returned.

Well run. We ordered the audio guide and listened to portions prior to arriving and listened to the remaining portions on the way back to Paris. There’s a lot to see during the two hours that you are there, so listening to the audio guide at the gardens would not work especially since we visited the gift shop, restroom and went outside the gardens to get a sandwich.
